The tube.
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Watching, don't know why,
This thing on the tube.
Mental block fills my mind,
What am I to do?
See the resemblance,
Trappings are there.
Tithing message, and,
Nicely groomed hair.
He preached from the pulpit,
With one wok eye!
Politics, rebellion,
Smelt dirty lies.
Using the bible,
Twisting to their will.
Using subtle threats,
To fill up their till.
For sweet to swallow,
Will sour in their guts.
Fools of old
Stories told
Back now for us.
Marching to their fate.
As those armies do.
I can't see no victory,
How about you?
Seven heads and ten horns.
What are his crowns?
Spirit,mind,body,
Whats it all about?
There is evil.
It has a job to do.
Becoming a distraction,
To fool you!
Listening to others,
Tears us apart...
I am is to offer,
A brand new start.
Don't worry my friends,
Because in the end.
He is going down,
We are staying up.
Our King will reign,
And he will stake our claim.
